I came to Patty as someone very nervous about childbirth. I was looking for someone who could support me with knowledge and independence from any medical or personal concerns during the birthing process. Patty had a long list of skills that interested me, and came to our first meeting with plenty of suggestions.
I am so grateful I had her with me during my delivery. She was calm and supportive, and willing to duck a few of the usual rules to make sure I was hydrated and as relaxed as I could be.
I am also incredibly pleased with the birth photography she provided. I didn't expect to really want photos of what I was going to go through, but found afterward that I wanted to remember it, and to see more of it - I'd had my eyes closed so much that I missed a lot. Patty's photography is beautiful and skilled, and I will treasure them for all my days.
I have already recommended Patty to friends. I recommend her to anyone else who's looking for a knowledgable, skilled doula who can help guide you through birth.
